Apart from the live Ummagumma disc, there is no official live document predating DSotM album, so IMO they have not even started to redress the balance. However, given the typical stance of stadium rock stars who downplay their early phase I would not expect any change in the nearest future.
The most affordable official bet for the moment is this one:

There have been some additional live releases on CD, like Live at Winterland '76 or Live at Wembley '78.
Here is your chance:

The tapes of Largo and Spectrum gigs from 1973 have surfaced a few years ago in great sound.
Once again, a typical mega stadium star approach: "we do not release anything from early years, but if we do we post-process it to meet more casual audience's expectations". Hence overdubs (Genesis), compression (Queen) and scissors (Led Zeppelin).
Thankfully the aforementioned Rainbow gig is now easily obtainable without any overdubs also in a physical format:

You never have too many live documents from a good band at its prime, providing that you dig live recordings.
